Tires MICHELIN or NANKANG
I have the Cross Climate 2’s. No regrets.
Not any noisier that I’ve noticed from the OEM Michelins. About 5% efficiency hit for me.
Tried some mich sport pilots, range killer. In the winter 20% loss but the cae handled so much better....
I've got the Michelin Pilot Sport 4 on my M3 Sr+. Europe.
I still say switching to Michelin Pilot Sport 3 All seasons was the best choice I made; a bit lower efficiency but they are actually a decent width so you have some protection from curb rash. They also have significantly better rating on all performance metrics and are cheaper then the Primacy.
The Michelin PS4 DT1 tires are very good for road-use, plenty of grip, handle wet roads without any fuss, and I think they'll last me 20.000km or so, even with some light trackday use.
We got a set of these on our Accord as winter tires this past fall. They worked great in any and all weather that we ran into. I generally dislike directonal tires but we got in a bind and these had the correct fitment for our car. They have some noise and a bit of squirm but honestly, you really have to look for it. They do like to collect stones though.
I'm on my third set of Michelins on my current Camry and with the most recent set I upgraded to the Defenders from the stock Energy Savers. They've been great so far. The Defenders have handled heavy rain super well for me, and were decent in whatever snow we got in the past year.
Michelin pilot road 5 if you got the money and never want to change tires again lol
Honestly this isn't all that uncommon in Michelins and Michelin won't warrant it, they call it normal.
The o.e. tires where Continental Conti's but these results are from the present Michelin's. I didn't have the Conti's on long and unfortunately I never closely watched the MPG before going to the Michelins. the Conti's were slippery feeling and I see they are rated LRR, which I knew nothing about at the time. The mpg dropped w/ the Michelins... especially with lower pressure.
